How to free up space hard drive under Vista?

Similar Questions

• I don't see the entire hard drive under Vista. When I try to shrink a volume, I seem to lose space.

  Original title: I see all the hard drive under Vista

  I see on the C drive properties
  "space used = 143 GB ', and"
  "494GB of free space.   But, when I try to do a third partition to install windows 7, using the disk management tool, after I click on
  shrink the volume on drive c, I don't see that: ' available shrink space: 79, 917 MB ' and I also see 'total size after shrink in MB = 573891'.  I expect all the free space 494 GB available shrink.  I'm wrong.    Why all the 494GBs are not available to reduce or at least half of it, I guess that instead of only available to shrink 79Gs!
  In addition, currently, I have three partitions.  For vista, office and other programs and data, C D like Factory Image of HP, a 11.3 GB and yesterday I made a partition for windows 7 with 48.83GBs and installed windows 7 Professional there.  Then I realize, I need more space to install office and other programs and data.  This is when I tried to shrink the c drive and encountered this problem.
  Can you please help me
  Thank you

  You cannot extend a drive backward

  Hello

  The hard drive is missing on the permissions that are required.

  What are the permissions?

  Permissions are rules associated with objects on a computer or network, such as files and folders. Permissions determine whether you can access an object and what you can do with him. For example, you can access a document in a shared folder on a network but only be able to read the document and not to make changes. System administrators and users with accounts of administrator on computers can assign permissions to individual users or groups.

  To take possession of a hard drive.

  1. make a right click the hardrive / partition you want to take control and then click Properties.

  2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.

  3. click on modify. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.

  5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.

  6. click on OK.

• How do I defragment my hard drive?

  I have a Mid 2010 Mac OSX 10.8.5 installed Pro. I tried to do the upgrade to El Capitan but wanted to make a backup of the system before I upgraded. I want to do the backup on my external hard drive I use Time Machine to make backups on. I have a 500 GB Seagate Free Agent external hard drive. I've trashed a LOT of old files on this subject so I expect to see a lot of room open upward after that I did own upward. When I started, I saw that there were some 40 available 500 GB. After that I trashed (and emptied the Recycle Bin), there are a few available 85 GB. I remember the years there, I used to defragment some of my hard drives, but it is a long time over ten years ago. Would it not useful to do that to my free Agent drive to win more space? And if so, where can I find this information on the defragmentation?

• Upgrade to Windows 7 - will be present take less space on my hard drive in Vista?

  I have a HDD partitioned - C drive only has 30 G - and I'm running out of space. The only thing on the C drive is Windows and any update of software that I can't install it on the other drive. (Auto updates of java, adobe, etc.)  Office, other software, I added are all installed on the second partitioned drive.

  I constantly receive updates Microsoft security - and it keeps taking more space.

  I think I deleted all unnecessary software.

  Upgrading to Windows 7 free up some hard drive space?

  Hi jehsc,

  Windows 7 is essentially Windows Vista with additional coding so it will not less space than Vista, it can take up quite a bit more. You cannot extend the partition (assuming you have unallocated space next to your current partition)? My system Windows 7 (Ultimate) as well as other software applications takes up 42 GB of space, but I allocated 200 GB of space for my Windows 7 Partition. Obviously the 200 GB is not really necessary, but I have the space on my hard drive, so I return to Windows 7. I do not, however, make like you and installed the software on a second partition. The main reason why I don't do it is because, frankly, I do not think that this happened so every advantage in terms of performance.
